French YouTuber Hooper has been immortalised in a Castlevania parody which is a lot better than you might expect from this kind of venture.
The work of 15 different people, HooperVania is a "non-profit French fan-game celebrating Castlevania, the French videomaker Hooper, his community and video games as a whole."
While the game – which is available for both Windows PCs – contains in-jokes that fans of Hooper will get, the developers believe it stands on its own and "you should know most references as they are either about famous video games or pop culture." Oh, and it's also available in English, too.
For what it's worth, here's the synopsis:
Hooper regularly streams video games playthrough, with a special tradition: each December 31st, to celebrate the new year, he plays a new episode of Castlevania. Since he started in 2009, he has already kicked Dracula's ass a dozen of times!
This time, however, Dracula has had enough. Using his mystical powers, he fuses his world with Hooper's, and challenges him to a fair one-on-one fight.
Now, it's your time to shine! Play as Hooper wielding the whip of the Belmont Family to throw Dracula's plans once and for all!
The gameplay is described as being close to the 'classic' Castlevania entries (basically, those on the NES) and gamepad support is included. You can download HooperVania here.
